Editor,
Did you know, that as soon as the government got back up and running, the government sent over a million dollars to Pakistan? I cannot believe we are willing to take money away from the poor in the United States such as the reduction in food stamps, but we have enough to send to another country. Well, people, that is our great government for you. We are in debt up to our ears and then some, but we cannot let anyone know how unstable our government is at this moment. It is too bad the shutdown did not last longer, because had we defaulted, the government would not have had the money to give to Pakistan.
We borrow money from the Federal Reserve to keep the Federal Governme...

Then, just last Wednesday, Oct. 16, while the volunteer front desk help was closing up for the night, t...

Editor,
In the recent Valley Journal article highlighting the Villegas story about Fostering Love, I feel I need to clarify a few things. Dennis Villegas has not been a part of my nor my children’s life for the last 11 years. And because of this you can understand why this article hurt me. His state...

Editor,
It’s a rare candidate running for political office whose love of community surpasses his/her own political aspirations. But Bob Fulton has quietly demonstrated to so many that he is indeed that rare individual, in writing his eloquent letter “Polson will be in good hands,” publis...
